A New Realm of Sound The Goodtime Six is not here to replace the guitar—it’s here to unlock new creative possibilities. For those who dare to tread beyond familiar ground, this 6-string banjo offers an authentic twang that seamlessly blends with what they already know. Every note rings with character, adding depth and richness to their musical journey. A Neck That Feels Like Home With a fast, sleek guitar-style neck, the Goodtime Six feels instantly familiar beneath a player’s fingers. Crafted from rock maple, shaped into a comfortable "D" profile, and finished in smooth satin, it responds with effortless playability. Whether strumming or fingerpicking, the 15” radius Pau Ferro fingerboard ensures fluid movement across 22 nickel silver frets. The Soul of a Banjo, The Mind of a Guitar Built upon Deering’s legendary 11” 3-ply violin-grade maple rim, this instrument delivers the crisp, punchy snap of a true banjo. A frosted high-crown head enhances its clarity, while a beveled steel tension hoop and 16 J-hooks provide structural integrity. Every element, from the nickel-plated hardware to the Goodtime Six tailpiece, ensures rich tone and lasting durability. Tradition Meets Innovation The Goodtime Six is an invitation to expand one’s sonic landscape. It’s a bridge between worlds—familiar in tuning, yet brimming with new textures. Whether strumming by the campfire, layering tracks in the studio, or exploring bluegrass-inspired riffs, this American-made instrument delivers an experience as boundless as a musician’s imagination.
